    My young bloke better behave, I just rang a Yamaha dealer close by and they want my first born for a new gear shift lever. :pinch:

    And that was near 60 dollars cheaper than a genuine husky and KTM 530 genuine one is as I just got of the phone $107.00

    Makes the Yamaha one cheap by what you quoted me doesn’t it :laugh: you are just going to have to spent some money :P

    Told you these are cheaper than most ;)

    TB

    Edit : out of interest I just tried 2 OS sites that sell genuine and bot are the same price as you quoted me and one is without shipping

    Good read Mick. Lucky for you the gear stick is made of the material it is or you would be up for a selector shaft! I have about 6 of those standard bash plates if you interested as warned before the ride they are only for riding on bowling greens :laugh:
    You will find the more you ride it they are amazing where they will go. With decent tyres it leanes me shaking my head as to what what they will climb

    Great report, pictures,gathering and read thanks for sharing

    Google DR650 frame breakage / break etc and you will find it isnt a one off. They are under the pump when we load and ride them the way we do :P

    I will start a rebuild thread on Strucky’s Tenere later, it had a massive hit. The hit was hard enough for both the bulbs to fly out of the holders in the headlight. The rear rack plate is bent, the hit was massive yet the frame apart from a radiator mount bent is 100%. Lefty and I have been amazed because it was cart wheeled at speed :ohmy:

    This came in about 9 months ago in the Sydney metro area as a trail. I have done it for years as Nick mentioned :whistle:

    When I was in my road bike phase years ago it was on like Donkey Kong! Narrow those things, the Tenere with packs etc is a bit different :laugh:

    Just to dust this topic off again, I bought a Leatt ‘GPX Trail’ (new version of the Adventure).
    My old “Thor Impact Rig” has been great but is now well and truly past it. Question being has anyone used the Leatt pressure suit type armour? I have done some research on it and a few people are saying it the armour panels fall off, the jacket material it-self tears when the velcro touches it and the zips used on sleeves etc are sheit (according to the online reviews). So anyone who has this Leatt suit, what do you think? Or anyone who has a Leatt brace using it with any other pressure suit armour how does it go?

    Thanks, B.W.

    Hey Leo I think that is what Lefty has actually. He hasn’t had it very long so any longevity testing is a while off yet. He likes it, and it works with his brace. Will it last, that’s the question isn’t it

    I will tell him you are asking ;)

    I pulled the head and barrel of the piglet (XR400), ordered valve guides as there was a fair bit of burnt oil on stems, and trying to line up someone to give the barrel a ‘bore n hone’ +0.5mm from Std

    Seems the engine machinists on the central coast have dried up. Called Hypoformance at West Gosford, and yet to hear back. What’s the going rate for a single pot bore and hone? I can ship, just adds to the cost I suppose.

    Cheers

    Call Nick at Teknik I reckon.
    He`s the WR guru ;) and a site supporter

    WR Guru? ummm ok he does know them true. But Rob is talking about an XR400 Eagle :blink:

    Stay of the smoke mate :laugh: :laugh:

    Oh yeah Rob, Nick can help
